Wordless Wednesday: The Weekend Report

Thank GOODNESS for Daddy

Who after yesterdays post ~ came home from work, found my girl about 10 worms in the garden and played in the DIRT with her...

Clearly she's THRILLED :)

p.s. She DOES wear pants around here but HAD had an accident and Mom was SO.DONE. at this point in the day I sent her outside without them... we live in the middle of the woods. Who CARES? :)

The View From Here

It's like spring and winter all mixed together...

It hasn't stopped raining in DAYS... actually... I think WEEKS except for a couple of bright spots here and there....

So thankful Daddy brought this up from the basement to play with and TRY to get some of the wiggles out... my girl likes to be active and this "stuck inside" STINKS.

MY actual view "from here"

Minnie's view when I let her take her own picture...

We could use some sunshine and OUTSIDE time...

Sweet Friends...

That give Minnie her 2nd haircut at ON their dining room table

 That share snacks, song time and praising Jesus during Sunday AM worship....

 and that give special toe polish with no chemicals or "bad" things for these precious teenie tiny toes...

feeling blessed....

Remiss ~ Husband's Romantic Bone

I have been meaning to grab my camera and bring it upstairs for WEEKS now... We (OK, I) joke about Husband's "romantic bone" and how it is basically just the TIP of his pinky finger... flowers, sweet words of compliments and stuffed teddy bears are just NOT my guy :) and that's OK... Because when he DOES use that romantic bone... it BLOWS.ME.AWAY.

In an effort to ENCOURAGE words of affirmation (which I LOVE) for Valentine's Day I made up (thank you pinterest) this frame with a printed piece of paper on it and a dry erease marker... that way he could just put something on there once in a while :) Guess who was using it more? :) Hee hee hee... and THAT'S OK...

Because the night after our Gender Reveal Party we came upstairs and when I walked past the frame I noticed it had been changed...

and I was BLOWN AWAY :) I love this guy more than I could EVER have imagined 10 1/2 years ago. My friend/hairdresser's husband said it best... "if ANYONE can handle a houseful of WOMEN it is "Husband"" :) and in the words of Minnie... "that's true"

:)

25 Weeks (Plus a few days)

How far along: 25 Weeks 2 days
Net weight gain/loss: up 27 according to L&L's scale

Maternity clothes: Uh... yah
Stretch marks: still nothing new thank goodness
Belly button: OUT
Sleep: LOVE it. Last Saturday night I slept SOOO good ~ it was amazing how much better I felt on Sunday just having a GREAT night's sleep
Baby movement: Yes and I LOVE it! Though I do have to say this girl is not NEARLY as active as I remember Minnie. I know this time is totally different because I don't sit at a desk all day but this girl seems a little more relaxed than Minnie at this stage of the game :)
Food cravings: Cocoa Pebbles. All it took was one bowl with milk and a crazy blood sugar after and I think it cured that craving. Even NOT PG I can't eat cereal and milk ~ can't manage my blood sugars so it just isn't worth it
Food aversions: Mexican and fries in my oven
What I miss: being comfortable :)
Looking forward to: another quiet week of no Doc appts before we get to see Miss B again on the U/S :)

I have struggled this week with my blood sugars. Loretta and I have been emailing back and forth tweaking and making adjustments to my pump. I've had, for ME, too many highs and she doesn't want too many lows so trying to find another balance for this part of the PGCY has been the goal the past few days.

Not at ALL great pics but I feel TERRIBLE about how few belly shots I have this time around so I had to grab SOMETHING this AM



Wordless Wednesday: It's just how we roll 'round here....
